St. Joseph residents will get to learn the history of some of the mayors of the city during a unique event at Mount Mora Cemetery this week.
Organizer Bob Fitzpatrick says this year’s event will re-visit the history of some of the mayors of St. Joseph.
"We have a number of mayors that reside at Mt. Mora Cemetery, as a matter of fact we have 21 of the 46 mayors at Mt. Mora, and we're going to tell a few stories of how they come to life basically in chronological order and tell some very interesting stories," Fitzpatrick tells KFEQ Hotline host Barry Birr.
The 21st annual Voices of the Past will take place this Thursday and Friday, starting at Wyeth Tootle mansion before traveling over to Mt. Mora.
Fitzpatrick says the event will feature several local actors at the cemetery.
"We'll have our emcee introduce most of the other characters and that will be Mayor Jeff Thompson portrayed by Bob Ford, we're also going to meet Armstrong Beattie who will be portrayed by Marshall White," Fitzpatrick explains. "Marshall White is actually a distant relative of Armstrong Beattie."
Also featured will be the wives of three of St. Joseph's mayors telling stories. The event will feature three shows at 6,7, and 8pm. Limited tickets are still available.
